When a backend user adds an article to a page that user must select the layout section the article is displayed in. This list will include "Header" (and "Footer"), even though for 90% of the cases the header does not include an article display module. But I cannot remove the header from the layout because I do need it displayed obviously.

This means the user can select a layout section that will not display the content anyway. This lengthens the list and can also confuse.

My suggestion is to only show those layout sections that include the "Articles" module in the layout. This will automatically detect the available options for the current page. Articles that are moved keep their setting until changed by the user (no good way to fix that).
